Australian Government 2022 progress report on the implementation of the recommendations from the Final Report of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

This report first provides an overview of stakeholder feedback received on the development of the National Strategy to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse. The absence of a trauma-informed, culturally safe, accessible and responsive service system to address the impacts of child sexual abuse was identified as a critical gap. The need to raise public awareness of child sexual abuse, reduce stigma to improve disclosure and help-seeking, and embed cultural understanding were also emphasised as important areas for the National Strategy to address.

This report comprises outcomes from written submissions, facilitated workshops and individual consultations held with victims and survivors of child sexual abuse and their advocates, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with a disability and their advocates, child protection experts, clinical practitioners, non-government organisations, peak bodies, academics and organisations.
